I've been trying to go to the gym regularly. Lately it's been kind of hard, because the heat is sucking my energy out. I have been keeping track of the days that I go to the gym and how long and far I walked on the treadmill. Keep it on my ipod calendar, so I can look at it and see when the last time I exercised was.

Figure keeping track of it on my ipod is good, because then if my doctor wants to see what I've been doing, I can show him the calendar on my ipod.

It is kind of weird lately, even tho I've been going to the gym at least twice a week, and consistently gotten up to a half mile or nearly a half mile. I feel like my legs are getting weaker. Notice it more walking up and down the stairs. Takes a bit more effort to walk up the stairs than it does down the stairs, but sometimes I'm a bit worried that I'll end up going **s over teakettle down the stairs one of these days. When I sit down, or when I get up in the morning after sleeping, I have to stand up and kind of slowly unkink myself from the stiff unmoving ball of spasticity. That really sucks.

I'm going to a baseball game this weekend. Spending the weekend a couple of towns over, and I'm a bit worried about the 96 degree temperatures they're predicting. It's a night time game, starts at 7, so I'm hoping it'll be cooling off by then.

My dad told me when I went to a baseball game last year, when I got home, that it seemed like it took me a month to recover from that weekend. (same thing I'm doing this weekend, staying over a couple of nights) After he told me that, I went..."oh yeah...hope this doesnt suck when I get home!". Now that he reminded me of how crappy I felt last year, I'm a bit worried.

Kind of scared I'll go on my staycation with a drawer full of spoons and other assorted cutlery, and then end up coming home with a broken, dirty, plastic spork that doesnt even have a plastic cover on it. I hope I still have a few spoons left when I get home on sunday night.

I want to try to start going to the gym every day. Hopefully I'll be able to start doing that next week.
